94: Cao Lang's talent was 9.9 dou (a unit of measurement in Chinese astrology).
Before long, the staff quickly arranged a laptop and brought over an exquisite mechanical keyboard.
Cao Lang patted Zheng Yi on the shoulder and said calmly, "Director Zheng, don't worry about the filming. I'll write a hundred thousand words for you first."
Zheng Yi was completely dazed.
Write a hundred thousand words right now?
Do you think this is some kind of improvised rap battle?
Even with twenty-five years of experience, I wouldn't dare say such a thing.
This is a full-length novel!
Not an eight-hundred-word essay!
The character relationships in "urban tycoon" are complex, the plot is well-paced, and every bit of foreshadowing can withstand careful scrutiny!
Zheng Yi didn't want some perfunctory, brainless plot!
Writing a hundred thousand words in one afternoon—even if you were just copying it, you might not finish!
Creating it on the spot? No matter what, the quality of the plot certainly wouldn't be up to standard!
The crowd was buzzing... "What is CEO Cao doing?"
"He said he's going to write the continuation of urban tycoon right here!"
"Create it on the spot? Is he bragging?"
"This plot is captivating and the structure is tight. Without spending a lot of mental effort, it's impossible to write something of the same quality!!!"
Several screenwriters stood on the periphery of the crowd, discussing in low voices.
The surrounding actresses heard them and deeply agreed!
This series wasn't brainless like other short dramas!
There were no low-level plots of Dragon Kings slapping people's faces,
No infinite magnification of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts,
No tropes where a beggar turns out to be a billionaire,
No couples getting married one day after meeting,
And no scenes where a chairman goes undercover and gets harassed by security guards!
"urban tycoon" was truly close to reality and could resonate with readers!
It could even hold a place in literary history.
How could such a plot be created on the spot?
Even if it were, the progress would be extremely slow; at most, it would just be an exchange session between CEO Cao and everyone else.
Xu Yizhen and Xue Ziqi, two actresses who had been immersed in the short drama industry for years, stood behind Cao Lang.
They looked at each other, completely disbelieving Cao Lang's words.
Creating on the spot?
Man, you're really talking big!
Even though you're handsome, rich, talented, and can play the DJ decks and guitar, don't play your brothers for fools!
In ancient times, Xie Lingyun was a frivolous man who took pride in his talent. He once sighed to himself while drinking:
"The world's talent totals one picul. Cao Zijian alone has eight dou, I have one dou, and the rest of the world from ancient times to now shares the remaining one dou!"
Listen to that—even when Xie Lingyun was bragging, he only claimed one dou of talent for himself.
Only Cao Zhi, who could compose a poem in seven steps, was worthy of being called 'possessing eight dou of talent'!
Was Cao Lang's boast even more impressive than that?
If he really wrote a hundred thousand words in one afternoon, he would indeed be more impressive than someone composing a poem in seven steps!
Xue Ziqi's charming long legs in black stockings were crossed. She gently rested her chin on Xu Yizhen's shoulder and wrapped her arms around Xu Yizhen's waist, fully joining the ranks of the onlookers.
Xu Yizhen looked back at Xue Ziqi and smiled, patting the hand Xue Ziqi had placed on her waist. They were as close as best friends.
The two of them had the best acting skills and the best relationship.
Wang Tangtang stood to the side with a look of complete belief, even clenching her small fists to cheer for Cao Lang!
Cao Lang stretched his limbs; he could feel his golden kidney gathering strength, ready to go!!!
Saying a hundred thousand words was actually a conservative estimate on his part.
As the saying goes, the kidneys produce marrow, and the brain is the Sea of Marrow. When the kidneys are healthy, the Sea of Marrow is full, the brain receives sufficient nourishment, thinking becomes more agile, and memory is enhanced!
The general public thinks that kidneys are only closely related to reproductive functions.
That is indeed a more intuitive manifestation, but healthy kidneys have many other important meanings for the human body!
Furthermore, what Cao Lang had obtained was a system-enhanced golden kidney!
All aspects of endurance and performance were greatly enhanced!
Additionally, the Eighty Years of Writing Skill wasn't just eighty years of an ordinary person's ineffective writing experience. This eighty years of skill referred to the most talented literary figure in history, using him as a foundation and gaining the skill from eighty years of hard practice!
Products from the system were always top-tier!
No more time for joking.
Cao Lang gave a crooked smile and picked up the keyboard to start exerting his power!
Moreover, Eighty Years of Music Skill had made Cao Lang's fingers extremely flexible!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to play such difficult guitar pieces!
Master one art, and you master them all!
Therefore, Cao Lang's hand speed was extremely fast, and his typing speed had already reached the pinnacle of the world!
Cao Lang's fingers flew like lightning, crackling as the keyboard circuits responded with full force! The keycaps were nearly smoking from the friction!
The words on the screen were like a small snake swimming at high speed, the character count growing at an incredible rate!
Zheng Yi's mouth formed an 'O' shape!
Oh my god!
What kind of astonishing hand speed is this!
Wang Tangtang swallowed hard, unintentionally tugging at her dress.
Xue Ziqi and Xu Yizhen were also dumbfounded!
They shifted from their casual onlooker poses to taking it seriously.
Xue Ziqi stood up straight, and the hand she had around Xu Yizhen's waist dropped.
Watching this terrifying hand speed, Xu Yizhen pulled on Xue Ziqi's arm behind her, gave her a meaningful look, and gently raised an eyebrow.
Those who know, know.
Xue Ziqi's face turned slightly red, and she gently pinched Xu Yizhen's plump waist—how indecent!
As veteran actresses, their eyes were full of subtext!
The two of them were completely on the same wavelength!
Cao Lang typed faster and faster, and the sound of the keyboard grew louder.
The start wasn't the end; it was just the beginning of the acceleration!
Zheng Yi squatted next to him, adjusted his glasses, and read the plot Cao Lang was writing with a solemn expression.
Good!
So good!
The more he read, the better it got!
Zheng Yi's expression slowly became excited; this was the script of his dreams! Cao Lang was typing it out effortlessly.
Soon, Cao Lang was surrounded by the entire crew! Countless heads leaned in to watch Cao Lang's typing process!
Zheng Yi was squeezed so hard he almost fell flat on his face. He struggled to stand up and glared at the employees!
"Scatter, scatter! Whoever dares to disturb CEO Cao's creation is making an enemy of me!"
"I, Zheng Yi, may not have much power, but I can easily deal with you lot!"
In his urgency, Zheng Yi stood up and lost his temper.
He got angry, but only for a moment.
He usually didn't put on airs and got along well with the actors, so his words didn't carry much weight with them.
The crowd laughingly helped him up, everyone promising not to disturb CEO Cao's creation!
Cao Lang stopped his hands from tapping the keyboard, his brow furrowed slightly as if he were thinking about something.
Seeing this, everyone held their breath, afraid to disturb his thoughts!
"Ye Wanqing hasn't been assigned a role yet, right?"
Cao Lang turned his head and asked Zheng Yi.
"Not yet, CEO Cao. Ye Wanqing joined the crew quite late, and there are no suitable roles left. She can only wait for the next script."
"Mhm, add her in."
Cao Lang began typing rapidly again!
He had added an important role for Ye Wanqing on the fly!
Zheng Yi leaned closer to the computer screen and saw the subsequent plot—he really had added a role for Ye Wanqing!
And the overall effect seemed even better!
He couldn't help but marvel:
The world's talent totals one picul; he and the rest of the world share 0.1 dou, while Cao Lang alone possesses 9.9 dou!
